I've setup an old laptop with linux mint running jellyfin and arr stack in docker containers.

When I run it the Internet in other devices in the network becomes virtually unusable after about 10 mins of the containers having run.

I don't really know what to do, so I wanted to ask for advice.

Do you have a 15mb DSL connection or something? If it’s close to 100mb or more you should be fine on this front. Maybe your router is super old and cant handle lots of connections that the arr stack requires. You can limit the amount of parallel connections and the total bandwidth available to the arr stack.

As for Jellyfin, if the problem is your slow connection to the outside internet, then you can force transcode all streams to non local clients to a lower bitrate, but direct stream to local clients (assuming your router can handle that, but I’ve never seen a piece of networking equipment that is slower that 100mbs)

Also I’d recommend connecting to your router’s web gui and see what it says, how mush traffic is going around and so on. You can usually find your router’s ip and login details on a sticker on the back.

I have about 100mb. My router is huawei b535-232. I went over all the tabs 3 times and haven't been able to find any bandwidth limiting options nor info on the traffic.
